| Description |
|---|
| Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that use TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system. The ports that vSphere UI listens on are configured in the "catalina.properties" file and must be verified as accurate to their shipping state. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| At the command prompt, run the following command: # grep '\.port' /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/conf/catalina.properties Expected result: http.port=5090 proxy.port=443 If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-ui/server/conf/catalina.properties Navigate to the ports specification section. Set the vSphere UI port specifications according to the shipping configuration as follows: http.port=5090 proxy.port=443 Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart vsphere-ui |
